A Kind Voice.

There is no power Of love so hard to
get and keep as a kind voice. A kind
hand is deaf and dumb 1t may be
rough in flesh and blood. yet do the
work Of soft heart, and do 1t with a
soft touch. But there is no one thing
that love so much needs as sweet
voice to tell what 1t means and feels;
and it is hard to get and keep it in the
right tone. One must start in youth,
and be on the watch night and day. at
work and play, to get and keep voice
that shall speak at all times the
thoughts Of a kind heart. But this is
. time when sharp voice is apt to
be got You often hear boys
and girls say words at play with q
sharp. quick toms a. il it were the
snap Of whip. When one of them
gets vexed, you will near voice that
sounds as il it were made up Of q
snarl, whine and bark. It is often
in youth that one gets vice or tone
that is sharp, and sticks to him through
life. and stirs up ill will ana grief and
falls like drop Of gall ON the sweet
joys of home. Watch it day by day a.
q pearl OF great price, for It will be
worth more to you in days to come
than the best pearl hid in tho sea. A
kind voice is to the heart what light Il
to the eye. 1t is a light that siags a.
we'll as shines. Train it to:sweet tones
now, and it will keep its tone through
life. -Elihu Buyritt.

Editor Cclfar Chronicle:
The people of Montgomery made
up their minds to pound" this
scribe, and of course when he
heard of it he began to feel bad,
for he remembered how his ma
used to pound him; but there was
some relief in the thought that
the Methodist pastor, Bro. Winn,
who has recently located here, had
just taken good pounding" and
that in him l would have at least
one sympathizer. The pounding"
took place yesterday evening, and
to-day / have deliberately made up
my mind that l can stand such
pounding as long as they can. /
think I occupy somewhat the posi-
ton of Bob Toombs' Yankee. He
said '.Mr. Toombs we whipped you
rebels" Mr.. Toombs answered
"you did not; we wore ourselves
out whipping you" So the good
people here may wear themselves
out pounding" me, and will not
be any the worse off by it.
The pounding consisted of sugar,
coffee, rice, bacon, beans, soda,
starch, soap, broom, tobacco, cali
Goes, dried fruit, canned fruit,
baking powders, a splendid new
bed quilt, and $13 so cash. Many
of the packages weighed several
instead of one pound The total
value of what myself and family
received amounted to more than
thirty dollars. These things my
self and family appreciate fully
for their intrinsic value to us, but
far beyond this do we value them
for the kindly feelings thus ex-
pressed to us by the donors. Please
allow me space in your paper to
return thus publicly my sincere
thanks and heartfelt gratitude to
one and all who participated in the
donation pound social"

GOLD!
1t Possibly Exists I'm Large GUAM
titles i'm Grant Parish.

For several weeks Mr.. r 8. Cameron
has been investigating the large excava-
tons in Indian Hill, two miles east OF
Colfax, and informs MS that he sfrmly
convinced that gold abounds in the earth
in sufficient quantities to pay magnifi-
Gently for working it. Among the old
Creoles and negroes Of this section the
tradition exists that eighty or hundred
years ago the Spamards had gold buried
in this hill, and also in one about three
miles north Of Colfax, and simple people
have at various times dug into these hills
with the expectation of unearthing con-
cealed treasurers. From the indications
Mr.. Cameron says the Spaniards must
have dug the earth from these hills and
washed it for gold in the adjacent streams
of Rocky Bayou and Bayou Darro, and
these immense excavations can be &C.
counted for under no other hypothesis.
From several bushels Of earth Mr.. Cam
eron has washed out a few haAdfuls Of
particles which he claims contains from
two to three per cent Of gold He has
had it examined by quite number Of
persons, and several who profess to know
say there is no doubt Of its being the
real stuff. he proposes 10 have it assayed
by experts in the New Orleans mint, and
we will endeavor to let our readers know
the result in our next issue.

five State cadets, to be maintained
wholly at the expense of the
parishes and city of New Orleans,
provided the annual expense per

Every now and then we hear something
about project being on foot to remove
Police Juror A. L. Grow, Of ward one.
We wish to remark that there is not one
citizen in thirty in the ward, among
white or black, that desires his removal,
and Senator Kelly should not allow his
personal pique to carry him SO far as to
favor two or three individuals who are in
opposition to the entire community. We
have heard our Senator express his bit
terness against Esquire Grow and another
gentleman in this parish, but hope he
has more soul in him than to use his Off
cial influence to vent personal spite.

Political Bubbles.
A RING METHOD.

st. Mary Review: Gen. Nichols an
nounces his candidacy for Governor, If
nominated by the Democratic convention.
He will never get the nomination. This
parish would give him 1000 majority at
the polls, but we do not believe he will
have single delegate in the nominating
convention from here.
NO NEED OF CONSPIRACY NOW.
Ouachita Telegraph: The McEnery
ring has control of the State Central Ex-
ecutive Committee now and there is no
necessity of getting up little conspiracy
and revolution to Dust the chairman and
obtain control OF the organization. as
was done before.
MORE CANDIDATES WANTED.
Minden Democrat Tribune: Now that
ex-Gov. Nichols has consented to run for
Governor, the contest will be narrowed
down between he and McEnery. Those
who desire to defeat the reelection of
McEnery will be injuring their cause by
supporting another than Nichols. The
McEnery men want their opponents to
divide on several candidates SO as to con-
fuse and disorganize their ranks.
THE It'd. pNwILLINoLY(O COMMENTS.
A subscriber writes asking why The
Times Democrat has not commented on
the correspondence announcing Gen.
Nichols candidacy. We might reply
that the campaign in the Generals behalf
was practically inaugurated some two
years ago, and that the formal announce
ment of his willingness to accept the po-
sition is merely confirmation of the con-
tinuous assertions of those who have as
sumed to know that he would submit his
claims to the people at the election in
1883 This purpose was quite as clearly
announced by the General himself from
the stump in a speech advocating the
election of candidate for Congress in
opposition to the regular nominee of the
Democratic convention in 1884; hence,
we have seen no occasion for excitement
over an incident for which the people
were quite prepared. Again it was hardly
within the range of possibilities that
the people of Louisiana should have been
permitted to devote the whole year of
bright promise, 1887, to the serious prob
lens confronting them, to devising ways
and means of reaping the benefits OF i'm
migration. invention, progress and
changed trade conditions which now
promise 80 much to the South, but we
have INDUCED hope that the politicians
would have spared the people at least
one-half the year, and we have, therefore,
been reluctant to engage in political
controversies.
